test it did not prove markedly beneficial another experiment 
Was devised to test its erficiency. Lime was added to a 
considerable volume ox soil at the rate of one ton to the 
acre. This soil was allowed to stand four weeks it being 
stirred ocassionally, and moisture enough was added to kee, 
it in good physical condition. At the end of rour weeks 
this soil was put into baskets, various rertilizers were 
added to it, and it was compared to soil not so treated in 
regard to lime. Another comparison was made by adding line, 
sodium nitrate, green manure, and stable manure to the 
soil four weeks before it was planted, and comparing the 
results With the soil to which the rertilizers were added 
at the time or planting. During the four weeks that the 
soil was under treatment it was kept moist and well worked. 
The following table shows the results.
